Oh boy, he has the potential to keep FSU at the top indeed. Nice find.

Makes sense for him to go to FSU...they are really on a roll.

Indeed... Braxton could probably do very good at any big brand out there... He seems like a good fit for the Gators, they love a running dual threat QB.

Quo: Good call on GTech. SEC West not all what the Shills at ESPN told us they are.

Let's see - so far GT stomps Mississippi State, Clemson stomps Oklahoma, NC State and VT, two of the ACC's also-rans this year, beat two of the AAC tri-champions. Duke and BC piss away wins against Arizona State by 5, and Penn State by a missed extra point. Miami plays lackluster and loses by 3 to South Carolina on a fumble after a freak Duke Johnson injury. Only UNC was totally non-competitive.

You can count ND either in or out of the ACC total, but 4-4 or 5-4 so far is not bad.

Not bad for a slaughter.

Louisville also lost, so it's either 4-5 or 5-5.
The Cards were certainly competitive, but they weren't close to beating Georgia.

I forgot about Louisville.

My math has the ACC 12-12 against other P-5's for the year with one or two games to go (FSU).

Wins - Ohio State, Georgia, Mississippi State, Southern Cal, Florida, Kentucky, South Carolina, Kansas, Oklahoma, Oklahoma State and ND - twice.

Losses - Georgia - twice, Penn State, South Carolina, Nebraska, Rutgers, Maryland, Arizona State, UCLA, Iowa and ND - twice.

ACC vs B12 3-0
ACC vs SEC 5-3
ACC vs P12 1-2
ACC vs B10 1-5
ACC vs ND 2-2

Only three of the losses were by more than a touchdown - Georgia over Clemson before Clemson started Watson, Rutgers over UNC, and Miami fell apart against Nebraska. BC, Duke, UVa and Florida pissed away wins over Penn State, Arizona State, UCLA and South Carolina.

Maybe someone will check my math.

Hopefully FSU will break the tie and beat the P12 and SEC champions in addition to the already beaten B10 champ.

Yes, that all sounds about right. However, I'd like to add that those numbers don't speak to the QUALITY of those P5 OOC wins. For example, the Big Ten has 5 wins over ACC teams. Which teams? Miami, Pitt, Syracuse, BC, and UNC. If you find those impressive, I've got an FSU victory over Oklahoma State and a Duke victory over Kansas I'd like to show you!

On the other hand, look at who is included among the ACC's OOC wins:

Va Tech over #8 Ohio State
Boston College over #9 USC
Florida State over #5 Notre Dame
Georgia Tech over #9 Georgia
Georgia Tech over #7 Mississippi St

That's 5 wins over teams which were ranked in the Top 10 at the time. All other conferences COMBINED have only 2 OOC wins over Top 10 teams. It's such a difference in quality of opponent as to make the other games almost meaningless.
